Misbah scores Hundred off 56 Balls
Misbah earlier completed the fastest fifty in test match cricket off just 21 deliveries breaking the previous record made by Jacques Kallis against Zimbabwe at Cape Down in 2004.
He pelted the Australian bowlers to all parts of the ground, Steven Smith being the victim of his all out attack, recieving 3 sixes and a four in a single over and another six in his next over.
The previous record for the fastest fifty in test cricket for Pakistan was held by Shahid Afridi (26 balls)--against arch-rivals India at Bangalore in 2005 whereas the record for fastest ton was recorded by Majid Khan in 1976 off 74 balls against New Zealand at Karachi.
Pakistan are pushing for their first test series victory against Australia since 1994 & are already 1-0 ahead after winning the first test by 221 runs & setting up a mammoth target of 603 runs in the second test with Australia reeling at 143/4 at the end of play on Day 4.
